David, Put me in the category of those that may have forgot! :-)
Was able to purge dozens of them individually...some as old as 2007. Thanks!

If your system has been used somewhat normally, you should see output from months and probably years in the past. These jobs will stay in the jes queue until a COLD START is done and we do not do those very often these days or until they are purged individually. These old jobs resist the normal jes clean up cmds. They are stuck in this state due to having been put on HOLD while running vs. being held when in the INPUT queue or held when waiting to print. This is an easy way to free up some SPOOL space and surprise your co-workers. David L.
